Law Of Sines
The law of sines is used to find angles of a general triangle. If two sides and the enclosed angle are known, it can be used in conjunction with the law of cosines to find the third side and the ...
What's my angle?
A series of tasks for younger pupils to do involving using a protractor and estimating angles. A high quality site which is very easy to use.
Law Of Cosines
The law of cosines for calculating one side of a triangle when the angle opposite and the other two sides are known. Can be used in conjunction with the law of sines to find all sides and angles.
Critical Angle
Information on critical angles with links to information on total internal reflection.
Vector Addition
Demonstration of adding two vectors of variable sizes and angles. Contains too many significant figures in answers but useful demo.
Right Triangle Relationships
